Today we had another fire drill and abandon ship drill, but this time it was a little more exciting- we had to actually don our gumby suits! So here are a few pictures of yours truly and the people I will be sharing a life raft with in the event we have to abandon ship. And I'd like to point out that it takes an enormous amount of self-confidence to publish a picture like this of myself on the web!

Just in case you were worried that we are all working too hard, I thought I would ease your concerns by including a couple pictures of my shipmates in the movie lounge. These pictures were taken just before we watched "The Wizard of Oz," played to the Pink Floyd CD "Dark Side of the Moon." Very groovy experience. If you want to try this at home, start the CD when the MGM lion growls for the third time.
